How fast will iPad 4Gen be?

iPad 4th generation benchmark shows 1GB of RAM, 1.4Ghz CPU, blows away predecessors


We think it’s safe to say that the upcoming iPad 4th generation release will be a beast of a machine. In fact, the 4th generation iPad more than doubles the overall Geekbench benchmark score of the iPad 2. It also more than doubles the score of the incumbent iPad 3.

Whereas many complained about the iPad 3′s relative lack of processing power when compared to the iPad 2 (in some cases, the iPad 2 outperformed the New iPad due to the strain placed on it by the Retina Display), you will not have that problem with the latest iPad iteration.

As Primate Labs points out, some of the first Geekbench scores are beginning to make themselves available online, and it paints a telling picture about the horsepower inside the iPad 4′s inconspicuous casing…

Here are the scores from the last three iPad releases. You may click on each benchmark image for a full readout of the entire benchmark.

While both the iPad 3 and the iPad 4 both pack in a gig a RAM, it’s obvious that the faster A6X chip, which clocks in at a hair under 1.4Ghz, runs circles around its predecessor. According to Apple, it delivers up to twice the CPU and graphics performance of the A5X chip, and these benchmarks prove as much.

What do you think? Despite the short period of time between releases, are you glad that Apple went ahead and updated the iPad?

i will just wait for now. i would like to see Apple make the 9.7" ipad slimmer (as they did on ipad mini and iphone 5 with new screen technology), and probably changing it's design to resembles ipad mini (i like the design of mini so much) in the 5th generation, surely when ipad mini come in my india i first who buy it

i don't think so, seems apple's product maintain a stable price but just do hardware upgrade. so i thinks the ipad 4gen should be at same price as 3gen..
